News: Cowboys reclaim nine from COVID; tickets still available for Dallas Week in DC

Mike McCarthy is alone on the virus list; Jason Garrett is on Duke’s radar, and Terence Steele and La’el Collins both to play vs Washington? | From @ToddBrock24f7

Knock on wood, but the Cowboys may suddenly be as healthy as they’ve been all season. Five coaches and four players came off the COVID list on Tuesday, with just one big name left to clear protocols. Jerry Jones is predicting big things- literally- for the offensive line when they travel to Washington, where it seems there may be more empty seats than expected. Troy Aikman weighs in on why Ezekiel Elliott has been hobbling around in games, DeMarcus Lawrence has added pressure to put on a show over the final five games of the season, and the offense will try to reverse a troubling third-down trend.

Elsewhere, the Cowboys have put their quarterback up for the league’s biggest honor, we’re fixing the financials in the wake of 2022 salary cap rumors, a certain red-haired Cowboys ex-coach is “on the radar” for the Duke job, and the all-time rushing king will soon be holding court in Vegas, baby.
